China Train Guide
Quick Guide on China Train Travel
If you’re looking for an affordable and comfortable way to get around China, train travel is the way to go. Getting train information and cheap train tickets has never been easier. Online train ticket booking makes it easy for travelers to look through China’s train timetable, compare train fares, and look for ticket availability. Once you’ve found a suitable train, you can book online and pick your tickets up at the train station or get them delivered to your home or hotel. Train tickets can be booked online a minimum of 35 minutes and a maximum of 60 days before departure.
How to choose train types
When you’re buying China train tickets online, you’ll notice that the journey duration differs depending on which type of train you choose. China train types can be recognized by their letter codes G, D and C trains are high-speed trains, while Z, T and K are slower or overnight trains. China’s high-speed trains run between Chinese provincial capitals and first-tier Chinese cities. G trains (high-speed trains , standing for gāotiě) are China’s bullet trains—the fastest trains with a maximum speed of 400 km/h. Tickets for these trains are the most expensive.

As a youngster, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me.
Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never approve because the walls were so old that some stones were loose and falling. Still, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.
“I want to climb the stone walls,” I said. “Heavens, no! You’ll hurt yourself!” the response was just as I’d expected. But before I left the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute,” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself. ”
“Go,” he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back.” For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls—and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “You made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”
Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you.” the kids can count on hearing me say, “and people can like you exactly as you are.”

Notre-Dame de Paris, a cathedral church in Paris, is the most famous of the Gothic cathedrals of the Middle Ages. For the French, it represents something immortal, ever- present and unchanging, like a mountain. Built over almost two centuries, the Notre-Dame is, as President Emmanuel Macron said, “where the French lived all their great moments”. Soldiers prayed here before leaving for the Crusades; Napoleon Bonaparte was crowned here; it survived the French Revolution, two World Wars and the Nazi occupation. It is where men bend their knees to profess love and thousands of tourists take photos every day.
A fire, whose cause was not identified yet, engulfed(吞没), on April 15th, the cathedral's upper structure. More than 400 firefighters took part in the 15-hour battle to control the blaze(火苗) that triggered sorrow over the globe. The extent of the damage is still unknown, but the fire destroyed much of the gothic cathedral’s wood-timbered roof and spire(塔尖). The cathedral will certainly be restored (the French government promises), but the sight of flames bringing down the spire moved the world in a manner far exceeding its religious significance.
French Culture Minister Franck Riester on Thursday said the government would draw all the consequences from the huge flames that destroyed the centuries-old Notre Dame Cathedral, adding measures to protect the national heritage were on the table. “Staff from the fire department, the culture ministry and the city town hall rushed to the Cathedral, when the fire started, to protect the main artworks that were inside. The artworks, which include relics such as the Christ's crown of thorns and French king Saint-Louis's 13th century tunic, were first moved to the city town hall and will now be transferred to the nearby Louvre Museum .” the minister told Le Parisian newspaper in an interview without giving details on the possible measures.
【1】What can we learn about the Notre-Dame de Paris?
A. It is the most well-known cathedral. B. Most of the French think little of it.
C. It was built by Napoleon Bonaparte. D. It’s still in existence after two World Wars.
【2】The underlined word “triggered” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by___________.
A. destroyed. B. avoided. C. caused. D. prevented
【3】What is true about the Cathedral in the accident?
A. Only the spire was brought down by the flames.
B. It was completely burnt in the fire.
C. The gilded crown of thorns in it was gone forever.
D. The cause of the accident to the Cathedral was still unknown.
【4】According to Franck Riester, what has already done by the government?
A. Rebuild the cathedral.
B. Rescue the artworks inside the cathedral.
C. Transfer the relics to the nearby Louvre Museum.
D. Release the cause of the fire to the public.

The United States estimates that about one out of every 10 people on the planet today is at least 60 years old. By 2050, it’s projected to be one out of 5. This means that not only will there be more old people, but there will be relatively fewer young people to support them.
Professor Richard Lee of the University of California at Berkeley says this aging of the world has a great effect on economics. “Population aging increases the concentration of population in the older ages and therefore it is expensive,” he said.
Aging populations consume (消耗) more and produce less. With more people living longer, it could gel expensive. But Mr. Lee says with continuing increases in worker productivity and wise planning, it can be manageable.
Societies have different methods for caring for the elderly,but each carries a cost Generally, there are three types of support Seniors can live off the wealth they gained when they were younger. They can rely on their family to take care of them, or they can rely on the movement.
In industrialized nations, governments created publicly-funded (公共资助的) support systems. These worked relatively well until recent years, when aging population growth in places like the United States and Western Europe began to gradually weaken the systems’ finances(资金). These nations now face some tough choices. Mr. Lee says the elderly in some of these countries must either receive less money, retire later or increase taxes to make the system continuable.
Most developing nations haven’t built this type of government-funded support, but have instead relied on families to care for their elderly. These nations also generally have a much younger population, which means their situation is not as urgent as more developed nations. But Mr. Lee says that doesn’t mean they can pat no attention the issue. “Third World countries should give very careful thought to this process, to population aging and how it may affect their economies — now, before population aging even becomes an problem,” he explained.
【1】What is one of the likely results of population aging according to the passage?
A. There will be more old people than young ones.
B. More than 20% of people will be at least 60 years old.
C. It will be more difficult to support old people.
D. The world’s concentration will be on old people.
【2】What does Professor Lee think of the problem of population aging?
A. It is likely to manage it.
B. It is too expensive to solve it.
C. It depends on how much the old gained when young.
D. It depends on the wealth of the whole society.
【3】What problem do the public-funded support system in industrial nations face?
A. They face tough choice, B. There is not enough money to support the old.
C. Taxes are too low. D. Their populations grow too quickly.
【4】Which of (he following about developing countries is true?
A. So far their economies haven’t been greatly affected.
B. Their government give more money to support the old.
C. They needn’t pay attention to aging population.
D. Their situation is also serious.

When we make news we use primary and secondary sources. We can see this most clearly 【1】TV programmes. As we watch the news on TV, the person 【2】( present ) the programme in the studio is the secondary source ( because he tells us about the news ) 【3】 the reporter in Iraq or Washington is the primary source ( because he is telling us about what is 【4】( actual ) happening there ). Without these reporters acting as primary sources, you would never find out what really 【5】( happen) in a war, earthquake, sports meeting, concert or festival. These reporters explain what is happening so we have a clearer idea of what 【6】 ( go ) on there. They often take 【7】( photographer ) with them who act as primary source by giving pictures of events.
